# MCP01 Token Mismanagement

> MCP01 Token Mismanagement — anita-ani-mcp-security-lab. Use this tool when you need to demonstrate and learn from common API security mistakes, such as hardcoded API keys and plaintext logging, to understand how to prevent token mismanagement vulnerabilities. It provides a deliberately vulnerable MCP server to test and identify potential security risks, with inputs including API requests and outputs including exposed secrets. Ideal for security training and testing, particularly in contexts where OWASP guidelines are relevant.
